Abstract

This report details investigations at the Cagle Site (9Ckl23), a residential area and lithic workshop primarily associated with the Late Archaic and Early Woodland Periods. C-14 determinations indicate that a Savannah River Phase component dates to around 2,480 B.C. and that a transitional Savannah River/Kellog Phase component dates to about 600 B.C. The technological stages involved in manufacturing Savannah River Stemmed projectile points are discussed and manufacturing differences between the Late Archaic and transition phase are defined. It is argued that the Early Woodland Kellog Phase developed from a' Late Archaic base in the northern Georgia Piedmont.
